The hamlets of Glières-Val-de-Borne
From Le Fond des Prés, where the campsite is, to the pastures of the plateau: the hamlets of the municipality's two villages, on a map.
Updated 4 November 2026
Glières-Val-de-Borne brings together two former municipalities, Le Petit-Bornand-les-Glières and Entremont, and a host of hamlets spread over both sides of the Borne valley, up to the mountain pastures. On this page each hamlet has a short entry: we only write what at least two sources confirm, or IGN's official data for the name, position and altitude.
Two hamlets have a full page: Morat, high point of the hamlet trail and start of the Roche Parnal hike, and Beffay, by the Borne, with its chapel. To see them on foot from the campsite, follow the hamlet trail.
